Convertible looks better than Coupe?

mdosu · 02-01-2011, 10:34 PM

"looks more mechanical and visceral, symbolizing the power within"

wha?

ManAndMachine · 02-01-2011, 10:34 PM

Negative! The coupe also feels better without the extra 400lbs in its body

01'325rip · 02-01-2011, 10:36 PM

this is fun lol

Funny, the thread caught my eye because the lines on the 335i vert always looked nicer to me than the 335i coupe (I noticed this before the M3's arrived). But in the M3 I prefer the coupe...which I guess is why I bought one (aside from the 400lb weight savings and CF roof :-)

ES_TRADER · 02-01-2011, 10:44 PM

no

luis_m3 · 02-01-2011, 10:45 PM

IMO the coupe is much nicer bro... the only reason why I've ordered a Sedan is because it was the only condition my lovely wife put on me. Otherwise, it would have been a coupe all the way.

Talking about which looks better.... We are stopped at light you are in the coupe I'm in my vert, guy and girl waiting at the corner. Guy checks out coupe girl checks out vert....nuff said.

FAIL...the E93 is cheaper to lease than the E92, and most people lease these cars.

No way, I also have 335i. And it is not faster.

Prince_of_Persia · 02-01-2011, 10:59 PM

It is a personal opinion, but as you can see, most people like coupe wayyyy more than the e93! Almost in all reviews, E93 M3 did not get a good review as well!!!

For those of you who prefer coupe, I'm expecting a little more than this, or " my coupe is waaayyyy faster that vert"

E93 may not be the fastest M, I think it's the best looking with top up and down. Very unique with top up and gorgeous top down. And to hear that exhaust shooting behind your head in full surround effects, that's something everyone should experience at least once in their lives.

93, the most intoxicating number behind M.

Then why do 335s always try to race me on the road? They pull up side by side and rev the puny little sixes and take off. Do they really think they can whip the M? like somehow we are idiots for paying 20k more for a slower car and they got the better end of the deal!??

smmmurf · 02-01-2011, 11:05 PM

Sedan looks better than both

pittsy · 02-01-2011, 11:07 PM

coupe is a lot better, especially the rear end, i dont like the trunk on the vert.

E92 is way faster. The E93 does not have enough torque for its weight. The ///M heritage is all about handling, aerodynamics, weight saving, and power. The E93 just weighs too much. and if u have to ask the question which is faster, u bought the wrong car. u are supposed to price the right pedal when they pull up to u.

To date almost every girl I've had in my E93 has wanted the top up because it would mess up their hair, it's too sunny, too windy, etc, etc. I'm glad I bought the car for me or I'd be really disappointed!

While I also like the look of the covertible rear a bit more (I think the flatness of the E93 makes the E92 look a little fat), I'm likely going to go the E92 route next time if I decide to pick up an M in Oct.

Really?

Blotman · 02-01-2011, 11:25 PM

Talk about performance and talk about what a "real" M should be. How can I argue? Doesn't matter, because the only argument that counts is that THIS is the car I wanted!

You know most people lease, from actual data, or is that from the crack of your bum? FAIL
